## Create an Admin user for the management account
To be able to interact with and manage the AWS environment you will need an IAM user with administrator privileges.

To accomplish this, sign in to the [IAM Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/) with your recently created account and [create a user](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediapackage/latest/ug/setting-up-create-iam-user.html) named `mgmt-org-admin`. Setting a password is not necessary, since you won't use this user to log into the web console. Give it admin privileges by attaching the `AdministratorAccess` policy to it, there's no need to add the user to any group.

## Generate programmatic access keys for the Admin user
Lastly, [generate programmatic access keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html#Using_CreateAccessKey) for the `mgmt-org-admin` user, and then either copy them or download the `.csv` file that AWS generates for you. In both cases, store the credentials in a secure location.
